A lucky Dungloe teen had the surprise of a lifetime at a Country 2 Country gig in Belfast when Keith Urban handed her his own signed guitar.<\/p>\n

Saoirse O\u2019Donnell was attending the Sunday night show with her mum Ann, her two aunts Siobhan and Maggie, and her granny Theresa when the unforgettable moment happened.<\/p>\n

The family was seated on the main floor, close to a smaller stage that Keith used during part of his super 90-minute set.<\/p>\n

When Keith came down into the crowd, Saoirse\u2019s energy quickly caught the Australian Grammy winner\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cI jumped up on top of a chair,\u201d Saoirse recalls. \u201cI was dancing and singing, and he had nodded at me a few times because I was waving and making heart hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I was probably the only one standing on a chair in that radius. He was motioning for me to come over to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Keith performed You\u2019ll Think of Me, he signed his acoustic guitar and gave it to Saoirse.<\/p>\n

The guitar was one of Keith\u2019s own branded \u2018Urban\u2019 Yamaha guitars, complete with plectrums on the side and the guitar strap still attached.<\/p>\n

\u201cTalk about the cherry on top of the night,\u201d said Saoirse\u2019s mum, Ann.<\/p>\n

The family also praised the SSE Arena security team for helping make the experience even more special.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were phenomenal,\u201d Ann said. \u201cAfter Saoirse came back with the guitar, they took it to a back room so she could enjoy the rest of the concert. They walked us back into the arena afterwards and gave her a setlist.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody who saw Keith nodding at Saoirse was so excited for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saoirse only knows a few chords so far but the gift has inspired her to put the guitar to good use.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is my wake-up call to learn to play now,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Saoirse is a Transition Year student at Rosses Community School and a huge music fan who loves all genres.<\/p>\n

She already has plenty more concerts to look forward to, with trips planned to see 5 Seconds of Summer and Louis Tomlinson, while a very special 16th birthday present will see her heading to Amsterdam to see Harry Styles live.<\/p>\n

Sunday night in Belfast will be hard to beat!<\/p>\n
